"Golf has made rapid strides at Western Maryland," said Mr. Art Janney of the Baltimore News-Post. and this year's schedule and work of the Terror golfers bore him out. All of last year's team, including Paul Burtis, Joe Oleair, Bill Thomas, Bob Walters, and Neil Eckenrode, returned to school. In addition Frank Lesinski, Ed Elder, and Ed Weant took part in the matches as alternates. Entering into their third year of intercollegiate competition, the golfers were busy from the first week in April until the close of school. The schedule of eighteen dual matches and two tournaments had such names as Boston University, Navy, Haverford, Dickinson, and the State schools on it. Nine of these matches were played on the home course, while the team went to Philadelphia, Annapolis, Baltimore, and Washington for its matches away. Early in the year at the suggestion of Paul Burtis, Terror captain, Western Maryland, Loyola, University of Baltimore, University of Maryland, and George Washington University representatives met in Baltimore and established the Maryland Intercollegiate Golf Association. Home and home matches between all five teams were scheduled and the leader of the league was presented a cup at the end of the season. Catholic University was taken into the Association at the end of the year and a new organization was drawn up for next year. Western Maryland held its annual Intercollegiate Invitation Tournament this year on May 6. This year teams from eight colleges competed in the all-day affair on May 12 and 13. The locals entered the Maryland State Golf Asso- ciations' Intercollegiate Tournament, where golfers came from all over the State to determine team and individual championships.
